Hercules offers test drives of hybrid vehicle
Using proprietary Eaton diesel electric technology, the next generation in economical, ecological refrigeration transportation is available in a hybrid vehicle from Hercules Mfg.
Utilizing advances in chassis hybrid technology, refrigeration technology, and electronic controls, Hercules provides a new cold plate system that can run the compressor over the road and regenerate cold plates during a work day.
Hercules’ hybrid vehicle is melding the reliability and low maintenance cost of its cold plate refrigeration systems with the green hybrid technology of the future.
Call 800-633-3031 to reserve a test drive April 7 or 8 on the Eaton Test Track in Marshall MI.
